OK.  So, I'll do the following (unless somebody voices an objection withi=
n the=20
upcoming minutes):

1) I will add 2 subdirectories under sablevm-experimental:
    - sablevm-native-library:
        Contains the broken merged sablepath-libs & latest CVS snapshot.
    - sablevm-class-library
        Contains the broken merged sablepath-classes & latest CVS snapsho=
t.

2) I will bring back the HEAD of sablepath-classes & sablepath-libs to th=
eir=20
unbroken "before merge" state by applying a reverse patch.  The idea is t=
o keep=20
the "stable" directories in releasable state at all times.  (I had to=20
temporarily break this due to the vendor-branch CVS update).

3) For the convenience of developers, I will put files which include the =

differences between the broken merged state and [a) 1.0.8 and b) Classpat=
h=20
snapshot].  I will put these "diff-to-*" files in the root of=20
sablevm-experimental/sablevm-*-library/ .

You can also obtain these yourself using "cvs diff -N -u".

Thanks.

I will myself have little time in the upcoming two weeks to work on Sable=
VM, as=20
I have presentations, courses, meetings, and travel to conference to do &=
=20
prepare.  So, everybody should feel free to help fix problems in=20
sablevm-experimental without further notice.

Also, I got no feedback about the proposed development model.  Do this me=
ans=20
that 1) it is too rigid; we should simply give full access to everyone, o=
r 2) it=20
is just fine???  I am quite willing to make adjustments, if necessary.

Have fun!
